The Tallahassee Police Department is preparing ahead of expected traffic congestion this weekend as both Florida State University and Florida A&M University host home football games. In addition to the games, it is "Parents Weekend" at FSU and "Youth Day" at FAMU.

With an influx of visitors, TPD asks that those going to the games arrive early to alleviate traffic.

TPD has created alternate routes to and from the games this weekend:

Traffic on Gaines Street will remain one-way westbound. After the game, fans parked in Lot 14, the FSU intramural field, will be directed west to Lake Bradford Road.

On Lake Bradford Road, traffic will be directed south where motorists will be able to turn west or east on Orange Avenue or continue on Springhill Road to Capital Circle. No traffic will be allowed north on Lake Bradford Road from Orange Avenue or Gamble Street. Traffic moving westbound from Gamble Street will be allowed to merge south onto Lake Bradford Road or continue west on Stuckey Street.

On Pensacola Street, before the game traffic from Monroe Street to Doak Campbell Stadium will be one-way. After the game, traffic will be one-way eastbound to Monroe Street.

On Orange Avenue, after the game traffic will continue eastbound to Blair Stone Road or Capital Circle before going northbound.

On FAMU Way, traffic traveling east will go to Monroe Street and use the traffic signal to go either north or south.

For the FSU game day shuttle, fans should park at the Tallahassee-Leon County Civic Center and ride the shuttle to the game. Star Metro will provide transportation to and from the game for a nominal fee.

Motorists are encouraged to use intersections with traffic signals as opposed to side streets.
